which can run for years without needing to be wound manually. The new system works like this:
which, when wound on a spool, retains a certain amount of curve as it unwound.
but applying these chemicals to the surface of wounds has its limits. To best stem blood loss, those chemicals need to be able to find their way deep into a wound.
There may now be a solution, however, and it comes in the unlikely form of fizz, reports Wired.
propelling them deep into a wound as they pop. The new concoction is composed of powdered marble, tranexamic acid
Water from the blood is the catalysis that sets it fizzing. f you can get the particles in the general area of the wound,
all the way to the damaged internal blood vessels feeding the wound. By clotting so deep into the lesion, the clot was shown to be more stable.
While chemicals do get deeper into the wound, they pop off in every other direction too. Eventually researchers hope to make the delivery process more efficient,
